The restaurant opened in what had been the old Phoenix morgue in 1929, then moved to its newest location in downtown Phoenix’s Renaissance Square in 1982. It was owned by Michael Ratner from 1982 until 2010, when he died from cancer.

“Tom’s Tavern has a rich history in Phoenix, and has enjoyed serving many of our city’s finest,” owner and chef Jim Gallen wrote in a Facebook post.

The future for the downtown Phoenix space is uncertain, the restaurant officials said in the release, but Gallen “will continue cooking in the Valley.”

Another iconic Phoenix restaurant, Macayo’s on Central Avenue, also auctioned off some of its things earlier this year as it prepped for a move across the street.
